If you can't climb Elo

You are where you belong. All I see in league right now is a bunch of cry babies complaining about preseason being broken and how they can't win because broken champs, ect. It's like people don't even try to get better. They just FEEL like they are better and that's the problem. Think about it on average how many time do you go into a bot game to practice csing or better your mechanics in league? none. because most people right now do not play to get better. I was bronze 5-4 like a week ago and I just hit silver after learning how to really focus in this game. And don't give me that" trolls, afker" Crap people confuse trolls and just bad players too much. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying your rank reflects your skill, I'm just saying if your really good you should always be winning more games then you lose and over time you will climb.

Idk man, I played ranked on my bronze 5 smurf, and I couldn't carry those guys hard enough for 3 matches in a row. And I have this strange gut feeling that I actually am better than bronze 5.

TBH this is all true but with some exceptions for Silver. It is just so random there. You recently made it to Silver, congrats, welcome to ELO hell. You thought Bronze was bad? Bronze is a cakewalk if you know how to push towers, that's all it takes to get out of there. Silver will literally put you with people that just started playing the game because they just bought the account on eBay to play with their friends. Of course most smurfs are in Silver too. It's a melting pot of randomness, just pure complete randomness.

Yes, you'll climb out if you're good enough to. This is 100% true, but it may take a long time - longer than it should.

I like that answer and will attempt to improve myself.

I agree and disagree. If you main a carry, perhaps, but I main a support and although I do believe I can carry some games as a support, this is only possible if those I am carrying take what I say seriously and listen though. You can look at my match history. But this is my first ranked season. There are soooo many trolls though, seems like every promos I have at least 1 game with a troll that loses us the game:/

Its about luck. This game is about luck.

You can learn the game for like 3 years like myself and still have terrible luck.

What all these plats don't like to admit is they just have better luck than most.

Then they bring up game theory and "statistics". What they don't realize is that statistics don't apply to your games..... You would have to play like well over thousands of games to get anywhere near the idea of achieving that balance.

I main support and would prefer my duo as jg tbh. A good jg can make or break the game, and I like to be able to coordinate ganks better.

On the topic of climbing... I didnt get to play many ranked S5. I do plan on playing a lot of ranked in s6 to see where I end up! Add me if you want!

I love how everyone is cry and saying its "luck" but when I check match history and look at people, they only got 4 wards placed down in a 30 min game LMAO. You're not playing to get better end of story.

I 100% agree that if after 100+ games maybe more maybe less if you stop climbing that is exactly where you should be. One thing I see most people on this thread have in common for why they can't climb is all most all of you claim to main support. Maybe if you want to climb try learning a carry roll instead of a supporting roll? Maybe pick better carry supports. Plus no one ever told you that just because you play support doesn't mean you can't build damage. Also if you know your in low elo like silver/bronze stop trying to build support items. I never build supporting items on my supports. I try to carry every time.

Another thing most of you commenting on this thread have in common is your all blaming afkers/feeders/trolls. If you truly are better than the people your with these guys shouldn't matter. I can't tell you how many times I've had a feeder on my team where the enemy chased them and blew ultimate on them just for me to come in and play clean up. Most of you also blame your team mates. I don't think there is one person on this thread that has admitted they could improve on their game play at all. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm also noticing that a lot of you build the same items on the same champs every game. That's doing it wrong you should build your items on the way the game is going not a set core build every single game.

One last thing I'd like to add before I go. If you truly are that unlucky and lose every single game due to afkers/trolls/feeders or what ever the reasons, please just quit the game. What's the point in playing a 100% luck based game? You might as well go try something new.

If you disagree with me at all then that's fine but lets keep it mature and actually have a debate about it.

Okay, how about this? Silver players are the same as bronze Thing is they have very VERY slightly better mechanical skill and decisions until ~silver 2

Especially considering i win lane vs most counters, and VERY often times silver players like you, you have zero reason to be talking in any sort of authority of the matter. And I practice a TON on my best champions, constantly working on build optimizations and revisiting characters i havent used in a while to see if ive gotten good enough to use them more proficiently than before. Again, you have no authority.

I mean honestly look at my match history lol

That says it all. Look at my twitch game... My rengar came bot twice just to feed then continued to feed then blamed me.

My last game as kas I had 3 trolls on my team lol 3. 2 of them took smite.. trynd came mid.. fed, then went afk.

You can't make this shit up lol. Bad luck is real.

lol I was season 5 plat 1 and all the plats and diamonds I talk to agree that the preseason is unplayably unbalanced. I cannot distinguish bronzes and silvers, they are equally bad in my eyes.

I think I could climb if I could get a decent team.... and if I could play mid. don't want to play some position I cannot play then get yelled at because I cannot paly it
